Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that at a first glance and from the symptoms detailed by you it doesn’t seems like a cardiac issues and more of a muscle spasm.
Just avoid doing heavy physical activity, take hot fomentation and some mild pain killer like paracetamol to relieve the spasm.
If even after this the spasm doesn’t subside kindly get an ecg and an echocardiogram done.
Kind Regards
